SAKs may be lame, but they have some large models. They are durable, useful, and can do the job 99% of us need done everyday. They have been made for years and will be made for years to come. Go watch some old MacGuyver episodes and see what can be done with a SAK. It's not the tool, but the user, that determines what can be done with said tool.

You are young and you won't listen to most of what we say. I know that because I was there at one time in my life. You will understand when you get older, and possibly have kids of your own.

Oh yes, usually more than the SAK! :D

Don't you hate when adults are right?:p
 
Great combo.

There's just something satisfying about a locking knife that fills the hand, even if it isn't as useful as a SAK.

There's also something magical about a SAK. Even if it has a sharp knife, it is usually perceived as a multi-tool first, thanks to MacGyver. (watch it on Netflix, if you can)
 
I have a SAK Spartan clone in my pocket right now. It comes in pretty handy. Earlier today I used the bottle opener on a Mexican soda for my wife. Her blood sugar was low.

The more I use a SAK, the more I like them. I have one for my Jeep Cherokee, another for my wife’s car, one in the bug out bag, and one in my bag of office gear.

I have an extra Spartan that I have tricked out with every bell and whistle that I can.

And, you don’t want to know about all the Soldiers I have just collecting dust.

The past few days I have been reaching for a SAK more than anything else.

It has sharpened up very very well, I can feel the burr on both sides of the blade.
 
Cheez,you remind me of when I was a kid....you won't understand OR approve of what I'm going to post!In my collection & have a # of large bladed knives! As I GOT OLDER .....my EDC blades AND guns have gotten smaller.....big blades AND guns can be a pain to conceal for edc. My little brother was a MARINE....he said.....I edc small...I'm not visiting any bad locations!Enjoy whatever you get!
 
Not uncommon. Many of us have picked smaller, lighter gear as we have grown older.

I often carry a Benchmade 531 folder. It weighs just a little over two ounces.
 
Fyi... I know I hit this late.
A Rat1 in D2 in a excellent knife for EDC and backpacking. Under 50$

Speaking of hitting things late, I finally watched Outpost 76's cut testing video on the Rat in AUS-8 vs D2. The results were surprising. While the D2 Rat did better than a lot of budget knives in Chinese D2, the AUS-8 Rat came out on top. It cuts a little more cardboard, it has better corrosion resistance, and it costs less.

Of course, these results are based on his methods. There are obviously arguments that can be made about media besides cardboard, fine versus toothy edges, etc. However, this does match my totally non-scientific EDC experiences.

PheonixKingZ PheonixKingZ would your parents care if I gave you an automatic Buck 112? It doesn't have a pocket clip (which was an issue?), and auto's are perfectly legal in Kentucky :)

I thank you for your generous offer, but I humbly decline, for several reasons.

They just let me get these two knives and I will be moving to either NY, NJ, or PA by the end of this year. (I’m pretty sure these states have strict knife laws?)

No hard feelings though. :)

Ya... Everyone is out to prove something.
One guy will make a video or link to say this; then another will sway it another way.

Whichever steel you desire then.
I chose D2 for my rat.
Aus 8 will cut things too !!
